[futureman 22566]

Goldeneye

House rules were: pistols, one shot kills, no auto aim, no sights. People that came over and weren’t used to this absolutely got their asses handed to them.

2v2v2 BGH No RuSh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

StarCraft games where nothing happens for an hour. I remember those.

Bunch of fucking whippersnappers. Video games in college? Sheeit.

Uh, drop the deck, Taylor Hall computer center. Wanna see an engineering student cry? Drop their deck. Bbbbbbwwwwaaahahahaha.

Uh, no I don't know anything about computers, BEB computer center. And drop the deck and make the future middle manager cry.
Bbbbbbwwwwjahahahahaha.

Battlezone, ACC cafeteria across the hall from ACC computer center. While waiting for compiles and job runs to finish. Got damn good at it. Secret is to back up while firing. Tanks appear facing forward, you back up past them rotate and fire. They can't spin fast enough to get a bead on you before you blast em.

Quarter detected in pocket. Can't remeber the name of the game but you shot robots. Intruder alert! Played it at the little snack bar in Fountain Park Plaza.

In high school played the very first video game ever. No it wasn't Pong. Spacewar! On a minicomputer at Esso Production Research on Buffalo Speedway in Houston. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar!

It hooked me into persuing a computer career.

Oh and Pong table version at The Bucket.

98-02.

Early: lots of Kart64, Quake, and what I consider to be the single best game I have ever played...Ocarina of Time, fuck water temple.

Late: my two roommates and I played Team Fortress Classic endlessly. My primary class was Medic and I’d just conc jump myself + leverage the good mix of speed/grenades to get that flag. I’d play best tripping shrooms, each encounter with the enemy became my own personal quest where I felt I was reading their mind...rack up like a 20-1 kill ratio as a soldier.

After school it was Wii city. Kart Double Dash was my jam, something about the cooperative two player was just a blast. Never really played Wind Waker but Sports Resort ping pong, the Tanks game on WiiPpay and Smash Brothers Brawl were on all the time.

Now I’ve got two young kids that was all she wrote.

Beer and Goldeneye was a staple before going out.  Also, Starcraft in the business school computer lab.  

[Goofyboy 3332]

‘96 to 2001

Command and Conquer
Quake 2? I think.

[ulukinatme 1765]

Goldeneye

Mario Kart 64

NFL Blitz 2000

The later was probably the one people played the most freshman year.  There were plenty of good Goldeneye and Mario Kart players on our floor, but those that dominated in Blitz seemed to have the biggest bragging rights.

NCAA, Madden 98-01. 

i owned a N64, playstation with all of the usuals like Golden Eye.

i was also one of the top players in the world at Quake. Quake was the original online shooter similar to Overwatch and Fortnight and other games. Unfortunately, this was before there were pro gaming leagues like there are today. I did play with the first guy to ever win the first major tournament. He won a Ferrari and it was the first time anyone had done any kind of video game competition at that money level, and it was for Quake. Had I been born 20 years later I would probably be sponsored and walking around like I owned the world. Probably with a douchie youtube channel. Instead I just film myself throwing passes in a field near my van.

/CSB?

 

also.. fun fact. Vertigo was one of my Quake gamer handles.

In high school, I got so good at Robotron that I could play on a single quarter until I had to quit due to time constraints or physical fatigue.

My friends and I called it the "Ultimate Fuck You" whenever we scored with the fast little skinny dude.

Fuck I loved this game so much. The fights were awesome when the fights would happen and someone would just slide out of it.

Blades of Steel > Ice Hockey

 

Base Wars is still the best sports game on NES though, followed closely by Super Dodge Ball

 

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

Repped for Blades of Steel and Super Dodge Ball. I'd forgotten about those.

1985-1989 (NES)

Techmo Bowl, NES Hockey.

Freshman year at the dorms we'd have some good battles on NCAA Baseball 2005 on PS2.

 

One of the best soundtracks in video game history.

Civ.  Lots and lots of civ.

Anyone else throw a guy out at first, have your 1B step off the bag and throw the ball back to first...thus causing an error when it hit the wall in foul territory?

[Homercles 10206]

And oh yeah fuck this place in particular

The goal was always to get 3 errors per inning.

What games are these? 2nd one looks like Ninja Turtles.

[Homercles 10206]

RBI and the first Ninja Turtles

[Jkwellborn 6897]

That’s what I thought. Just been a while since I played them.

[texas08 1599]

All the usual EA sports.

However, surprised no one has mentioned Fight Night, shit went HARD!

[South Austin 52765]

They didn't use player names, but I would play as the Longhorns, who were pretty decent with James Brown, Ricky Williams, Shon Mitchell, and Mike Adams.
